Relative Hochschild (co)homology

Abstract: We study relative homological algebra and relative Hochschild cohomology. We dualise the construction in [Cib+21b] for a ring extension B ⊆ A to construct a long nearly exact sequence for the relative Hochschild cohomology HH∗(A|B), the Hochschild cohomology HH∗(A) and the Hochschild cohomology HH∗(B,A). Parallel to this we also study corings and the associated Cartier cohomology and Hochschild cohomology. Given an A-coring C and its right algebra R we have induced maps ExtiA(M, N) → ExtiR(R⊗A M, R⊗A N) by the induction functor. We characterise the vanishing of the Hochschild cohomology of the coring in terms of these induced maps being isomorphisms for degrees greater than or equal to one.
